2017 Aston Martin DB11 Review

Introduction

The DB11 is the latest in a line of gorgeous Aston Martin GT cars, built to satisfy the needs of a buyer who wants a mix of sports car performance and roadholding with the ability to cruise long distances in comfort when needs be. It replaces the highly successful DB9 and its V12 engine is, for the first time ever in an Aston Martin, turbocharged. The company reckons the DB11 is one of its most important models ever.

Body Style: Coupe

Seats: 4

MRP from £155,000

Did you know? The Aston DB11 features a clever 'virtual' rear spoiler called the AeroBlade that takes air through the car's bodywork.

Verdict: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ (8.3/10)

Naturally, it was important that the Aston Martin DB11 improved upon the car it replaced, which it did – and some. But buyers will also consider models from the likes of Bentley, Ferrari and Mercedes, so it needs to be an exceptional car. In short, it is. The beguiling exterior looks hide a fiendishly clever aerodynamic package for a start. The interior is just as appealing, with some truly unique personalisation options, and it's all topped off by a sensational V12 engine and a chassis designed to reward those who love driving.
